No way. That door wasn’t there before—I’m absolutely sure of it. It was a blank wall when I was standing right in front of it. Where did it come from? “Are we allowed in here?” I ask, trying to mask my astonishment. “Well, you’re not allowed. I have a key,” he replies with a grin. As I step into the newly revealed room, it becomes clear that it’s an office, but not like any I’ve ever seen. The walls are entirely made of reflective glass—just mirrors. “Do you, um, own this place?” I ask. “Do people really own places?” he muses with a thoughtful look. “I’m a major shareholder in this foundation.” Well, none of the articles I’ve read had mentioned that. It must be a top secret. Do I need to sign an NDA or something? If so, I’m probably getting sued, because there's no way I'm not spilling every detail to Jessica the moment I see her. I mean, look at this place! How long could I possibly keep it a secret before I explode? Despite the abundance of mirrors, the room doesn't fee
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 011: We Have A Deal
Caspian’s eyes lock onto mine. There’s a playful glint in those eyes, and the corner of his mouth lifts in a smirk. He leans back slightly in his chair, his posture relaxed but attentive. “And how, lovely lady, do you plan to seduce me?”I want the ground to open up and swallow me. I feel my face flush, and for a moment, my mind races, trying to come up with a clever response. But all I can think about is the way his eyes seem to see right through me.“I…,” I begin. “Well, I didn’t think that part through. That’s why I was observing you. To figure out what might work.”“So after two hours of staring, what did you discover?”“Nothing,” I say, shaking my head. “Absolutely nothing. You’re hard to read.”Caspian reaches for the bottle of scotch. He pours the rich, amber liquid into his glass, filling it just enough to leave a small gap at the top. Then, with a casual glance, he picks up my glass. Despite the fact that there’s still some alcohol left in my glass, he tops it off with scot
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 012: The Private Investigator
Caspian's POVIt’s Sunday, eight days since I met the red-haired angel, and I think I’m slowly losing my mind. I see her in my dreams. I see her when I’m wide awake. Desiree Blackwood. Her name is stuck in my head. I remember everything about her—her sharp eyes, her fiery hair, and the way she smelled. I see her in the faces of people I pass, hear her voice in the quiet moments, and feel her touch when I’m alone.It’s not just a crush; it’s a need. Eight days have felt like forever, and I can’t stop thinking about her. I can’t focus on my work. Every time I try to think about something else, her image pops up in my mind.Why do I feel this way about her? Is it because she’s a challenge, or because of the fire in her eyes? I don’t know. All I know is that I’m hooked, and there’s no way to stop it.Beep, beep… beep, beep… beep, beep…I pick up the phone. “Yes?”“Boss,” my private investigator says, “I have the information you need.”“Which of them?”“Desiree Blackwood.”Just hearing
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 013: She's A Good Girl
The connection seems to take forever, each second stretching out as I wait for the call to go through. Finally, Bruno’s familiar voice answers, smooth and composed. “Mr. Hart, what a pleasant surprise.” “I need to talk to you about a guest you had at the Luminary Gala,” I say, going straight to the point. Bruno’s tone shifts, becoming more serious. “Of course, Mr. Hart. Which guest are you referring to?” “Her name is Desiree Blackwood. She was wearing a green Chanel dress, long and wavy red hair, expensive jewelry—” “I know who Desiree is, Mr. Hart. There's no need for the descriptions.” “Perfect.” “What has she done? Stolen something? Maybe the fine china?” he jokes. I’m no longer in the mood for his jokes. But his words hit home. That’s exactly what she did. She stole something. It may not be the cups and plates, as Bruno said, but she’s still a thief, nonetheless. Because she stole me; she stole my attention. I can forgive many things, but not this, not theft. No one
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 014: The Annoying Dinner:
This is the eleventh time Mabel has flipped her hair. I’ve been counting.She’d say something ordinary like, “Pass me the salt shaker, Mikey,” and flip her hair. “What time is it, Mr. Hart?” Another hair flip. “This food is so nice. What is it, Italian?” And yet another hair flip.I don’t know why, but that simple act annoys me greatly. Why not just tie up the damn hair? We’re eating, for goodness’ sake. But I hold my tongue. This is Mike’s fiancée, after all. I have to be civil. I don’t want to end up like one of those parents whose children never come home for the holidays. And maybe I’m a little bit—just a tiny bit—biased against her because of Desiree. I need to be open-minded. She might turn out to be a great person, and I don’t want to ruin our future daughter-in-law and father-in-law relationship by hating unnecessarily.“I have to say this, Mr. Hart,” Mabel says, flipping her hair for the twelfth time, “your house is beautiful. So grand. The furniture. I can’t even…”“Thank yo
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 015: A New Plan
Mabel turns to Mike, her eyes blazing. “Are you going to stand there and watch your dad talk to me like that?”“Eight,” I count. “Nine.”Mike walks over to Mabel, placing a gentle hand on her arm. “Babe, I think it’s better you just listen to him. I’ll be out very soon.” He begins to guide her out of the room.“Are you fucking serious?” she snaps, pulling her arm away. “I’m not leaving. Who the hell does he think he is?”The owner of the house, I think to myself. But I don’t say that aloud because it would interrupt my counting.“Ten,” I finish. I watch as Mike finally manages to usher Mabel out of the room, her hair flipping one last time as they disappear around the corner.I sit back down at the dining table, waiting. He’s probably there right now, his hands gently cupping her face, looking into her eyes, trying to calm her down. It’s what I’d do too—what I did when Mike was younger. He was such a sweet little kid. Stubborn, yes. Reckless, of course. But he’d been sweet. Besides, I
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 016: Rose's Bane
“Thank you for calling Rose’s Bane, your home of guaranteed satisfaction. You’re speaking to Mwahlicious J. How may I assist you today?”Well, no one can fault Rose’s Bane for their customer service skills. It’s top-notch. I can feel myself relaxing already.“Hi, Mwahlicious J. I’m calling to book an appointment,” I say.“Absolutely, I’d be delighted to help you with that,” she responds. I can hear her clicking away at her keyboard. “Can I have your name, please?”“Caspian,” I say.“Surname, please.”No fucking way. “Is that necessary?” I ask.There’s a pause, and I can almost hear the gears turning in her head. “For our records, yes, but we can assure you of complete discretion, Mr. Caspian.”The last thing I’d want is for the media to get wind of this. My name would be splashed all over the headlines. ‘Caspian Hart, the reclusive billionaire who favors strip clubs.’ It would be a PR nightmare. I can’t even imagine the amount of calls I’d get. The rehearsals for a backup story. The p
My Cheating Boyfriend Dumped Me, I Stole His Dad's Heart CHAPTER 017: The Heat At Rose's Bane
It’s Friday, and I’m on my way to Rose’s Bane.Despite my security detail insisting they accompany me, I refused. I don’t want to draw unnecessary attention to myself. It’s risky, I know, but I have this feeling that people wouldn’t really recognize me without my usual entourage. To further conceal my identity, I’m wearing a baseball cap. I considered adding a fake mustache, but that seemed excessive, even for me.True to her word, Mwahlicious J had sent everything to my email: the appointment date, time, venue, NDA, and coordinates to the secret entrance at Rose’s Bane, which I’m currently driving into.“May we have your ID card, sir?” someone says at the gate, stepping out of the shadows.I hand the plastic card to him. He examines it briefly, then nods and returns it to me.“Welcome, Mr. Hart,” he says, pressing a button to open the gate. “Enjoy your evening.”I drive through, following the discreet signs that lead to the VIP parking area. Once I park, I take a moment to collect my
